After weeks of tension, drama, and near misses, YouTuber Aarush Bhola has finally risen in Rise and Fall. The turning point came after wildcard entrant Manisha Rani entered the show and was given a crucial decision to secure her position. She was asked to pick one contestant to “rise,” and she chose Aarush — a move that surprised many in the house and left social media buzzing.
Manisha explained her decision by recalling a previous task where the fall contestants in the basement had to select their value briefcases. Aarush had chosen the highest value, signaling his confidence, but despite that, the votes went in favor of Kubbra Sait, who rose instead. According to Manisha, the one who valued himself the most deserved to be rewarded — and this time, she made sure Aarush got his due.
This moment marks a significant turnaround for Aarush, who has been at the center of controversy with host Ashneer Grover. Just last week, Aarush’s heated argument with Ashneer had reached such heights that the host asked him to leave and stormed out of the penthouse. While Ashneer had urged Aarush not to get swayed by friendships and to play his own game, his remarks triggered Aarush, who openly challenged the host on air.
With Manisha’s backing and his new status in the game, Aarush Bhola’s journey in Rise and Fall has taken a dramatic turn. Fans online are now divided — some cheering his rise as a well-deserved redemption, while others questioning if this is the start of bigger clashes ahead.
